10 Heavy Duty C-Track Manual
Installation of Cables
1. Before beginning the installation of cables, remove the cable clamping pad assemblies from the tow trolley, trolleys, and end clamp.
2. Install cables on the equipment per the pre-designed arrangement or the following rules:
3. Arrange cables with the larger cables (power cables) on top of stack (see diagram below). This provides a larger bending radius as
well as improved heat dissipation. Since the top cable also takes more pulling force during operation, the larger conductor is better
suited to handle this force. Note the specified cable loop depth and allowance for hookup.
4. Arrange the cable package with a width to height ratio of 3 or 4 to 1. Tall narrow cable stacks can be unstable during operation.
5. Arrange cables with a minimum of 50% of each cable surface under clamp pressure (See diagram below).
6. Install tow webbing if required, see section 4.9 for instructions.
7. After setting the cables to the proper loop depth and arranging the cables as designed, re-install the cable clamping pad
assemblies. Be sure the smallest cables do not move when pulled.
8. As an alternative method, cable may be clamped in the saddles prior to installing the carriers on the channel.
